Open access (OA) provides a constructive solution to this problem. OA can be defined as free, unrestricted, immediate and online availability of high-quality scientific research results. OA is invaluable in that it can add value to the economy, to research and to society. Open Access has both value and a positive impact on patient care. Initiatives include, for example, the Cochrane Library Collaboration, a gold standard in systematic reviews which is made openly accessible in developing…
that “injustice anywhere is a danger to justice everywhere”(Letter From a Birmingham Jail). This can be interpreted as the belief that if you allow the rules to be broken for one person, others will expect the rules to be broken for them as well. The binary is, once you have injustices in one area, and people see that those injustices go unhandled, injustices will then grow like an infection and spread throughout the nation to other places. The idea of justice will lose its meaning and the norm…
3. Tying It All Together Society allowed the patriarchy to become a self-functioning Panopticon by conditioning itself to abide by a certain set of rules or face brutal consequences. The government clearly had a lot problems to worry about, such as preventing gang violence and enforcing prohibition. Societies had firmly set gender roles in tradition ever since the beginning of civilized humankind. Failing to abide by tradition sometimes meant ostracization or even worse consequences. As a…

The Concept of “Normal” Varies from Each Individual When the concept of “normal” features in the media, the divide between disability and normality is often discussed. Preconceived notions are then established, claiming that disability is undesirable and a lack. However, Channel 4’s trailer “We’re the Superhumans” and Nancy Mairs’ Waist-High in the World: A Life Among the Nondisabled challenges those beliefs. In the Paralympics trailer, each individual’s talents and capabilities are the main…
thrust upon them, and women were handed the card of objectification on the marriage market. In a modern Western standpoint, the methods of mobility utilized by women are considered barbaric, but during this time in Chinese history, it was the only option to achieve success. And although footbinding…
Walter, a 7.6 year old, received a speech-language evaluation to assess his language abilities. According to the American Speech and Hearing Association (2017), school speech-language pathologists are required to adhere to the CCSS. While it is a requirement to adhere to the CCSS, doing so also provides students with the repeated exposure of the curriculum, vocabulary, and multiple opportunities for practice. To assess Walter’s receptive language, The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) (Dunn…
On a daily basis, food is a huge part of our life, (where) wondering what to eat (constantly) fills our thoughts. In modern culture, we have the ability to choose from a plethora of options, whether we feel more like (it is) Chinese or Italian food. In the western world, we are blessed with these options from (due to) the mass immigrations in past generations and the hybrid cuisines of new people coming in today. Although immigration has allowed us to be introduced to foreign cuisine, the…
society as well as misunderstanding of sexes. Normalization surgery also violates the evils of morality, thus making the surgery immoral on that alone. There has also never been a report of an intersex child who felt that the surgery was the right option or agreed with it, and while some believe that the surgery is the duty of the doctor and the parents to perform, they are not in the position to make a decision as there is no emergency that would require surgery right away. Therefore, Gender…
History in all of its hundreds of thousands of years known to man tends to erase the stories of those not in control of their freedom. Whether it be the stories of slaves in the Americas, the ruthlessness of colonialism, there is always a group whose voice is not heard. In today’s society that group is the LGBTQIA+ group, specifically the T, or transgender for the purposes of this paper. Transgender or third gender communities have been a part of history in a variety of countries and cultures…
